Place prepared Takes on an independent Timeline with gaps and overlaps. Present picture, sound and captions through explicit Use rules while preserving source timing and project-authored styles.
Unify Companion bands, parameter ownership and source writeback in Studio. Migrate components, examples and authoring guidance, remove retired Speech/Semantic Track interfaces, and retain protocol identifiers at @1.
Validation: repository suite (786 tests; six sandbox-blocked tests passed on permitted rerun), 43 Studio tests after audit fixes, TypeScript, public declarations, four example-package builds, chat Source check and npm file inventory.
The three example package locks conflicted: both sides had regenerated
them. Neither side's digests were still correct, since the merged tree
combines their source refactor with the license field added to every
manifest, so the locks were rebuilt from the merged bytes rather than
resolved by picking a side.
Every workspace manifest omitted a license field, so a scanner reading
the published repository would resolve all 90 of them as unknown. Both
Python services went further and declared plain Apache-2.0, which is
looser than the LICENSE they actually ship under.
Package bytes feed the example package locks, so adding the field
invalidated all three; refreshed them. Only closureDigest and artifacts
move — same 31 selected packages, nothing added or removed.
Also record what the READMEs never said: ffmpeg is a real prerequisite
for a Build and had zero mentions, and the media Lambda layer is a GPL
FFmpeg build. That build is deliberate — libx264 is GPL-only and the
encode path requires it — and it stays lawful only because the operator
builds and deploys it into their own account. Publishing a prebuilt
layer would break that, so the boundary is now written down.
Rename the author frontend around Markup, replace PromptKit with graph-native Text templates, and keep video typography in its own package. Wire ordinary Text through explicit graph edges into model and visible consumers, refresh examples, locks, tests, and architecture documentation.
The umbrella video-contracts package collapsed eight unrelated
vocabularies into one release unit. Public video communication now
lives in small, independently versioned contract packages: narrative,
media, program-space, speech, speech-evidence, semantic-map, visual-ir
and composition. Speech implementation packages are renamed for what
they do (speech-spine, speech-basis, speech-alignment), realization
folds into run, and hyperframes-render becomes render-hyperframes with
a renderer-neutral Visual IR spec. Every model package gains a direct
activation entry, and shared video test fixtures move to test-support.
Example package locks are regenerated for the decomposed closure; the
graph-check, live, echo-pro-aroll and bootstrap sources all compile
against the new package set.
The package holds Narrative, Media, ProgramSpace, Speech, SemanticTime,
Track, Composition and HyperFrames Visual IR contracts — all video
domain vocabulary. A domain-neutral name overstated its scope and
collided with the repository's own naming discipline. Example locks are
regenerated for the new package identity.
Also removes three empty untracked directories left from earlier
package drafts (provider-kit, prelude-video, video-fragments).
Narratage (narration + montage) is the project, framework, npm scope
(@narratage/*) and CLI command. SVML remains the name of its markup
language, so file suffixes (.svml/.svs/.svrun), source Headers and
svml.* wire format ids are intentionally unchanged. Example locks are
regenerated because package manifests participate in artifact digests.
